i have heard from liberals that race is a social construct.

if so, what is to prevent anyone from calling themselves black?

and claiming affirmative action benefits??

I was forced to read it as a course requirement

I would love to see what I wrote. i passed the course but it was a required “humanities” that engineers generally and rightfully considered as fluff

I remember the book as a joke

This woman is insane. She has lost touch with reality. She is no different Han the man who claims to be Jesus.

She got into Howard without anyone knowing her race. Because Howard is a ‘traditionally black college’, people were offended by her. That she is nothing special as a white woman so decides to become a member of the victim class.

MLK family members cross the political spectrum...from very conservative to outright communist. I will not speculate on fantasy scenarios. Based on actions and speeches during his life, I believe he would be closer to Alveda King
